2011 Orinda Car Show pictures

This year's show was bigger than ever.  In fact, the organizers ran out of room on the street and so the Orinda Country Club opened up its golf course to give more room.

This Jaguar XJS was the first to catch my eye.  Did those wire wheels come stock?  Because they're a perfect melding of old and new-ish.

This Cadillac Eldorado convertible was the highlight.  At first, I thought it was an Allante, but the proportions weren't right for an Allante.  Upon closer inspection, and a chat with the proud owner, it was indeed an Eldorado ESC with the top carefully lopped off by Coach Builders Limited.

Only a few hundred were made.  You ordered them through your local Cadillac dealer.  It has a power top with a plexiglass rear window.

This clean 1981 528i was charming.

This is the first Spyker I've seen in the U.S.  It looks more like a fancy bejeweled watch than a mode of transportation.

There's a Shelby.
